Dear George Clooney,

Hi. You don't really know me, but I've known you from the days of Facts of Life. Detective Falconer on Sisters? My UCLA roommate and I planned our weekends around Sisters. When you got killed off? Oh, the pain and heartache. But then there was a little show called ER. Happiness again.

Anyway, I'm just saying I'm not a Johnny come lately girl. Um...unlike your recent cocktail waitress flings, I was actually alive when you started your career. Just saying...experience is a good thing.

So, if you do happen to finally realize that you really need a librarian and baker in your Italian villa...I'm here. And if you want to send me flowers, I'd like a bouquet of Rose Bundts. Like you being named People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive (twice!!!), this Nordic Ware pan is totally the Sexiest Bundt Alive!

I made the William Sonoma's Cream Cheese Pound Cake with Lime Glaze. I don't know what happened, but I must have over beat the wet ingredients into a tizzy or something. By the time I slowly mixed in the dry ingredients, it was practically coming out of the KitchenAid bowl. Since the recipe was made to fit into the pan, I just threw in all the batter. Mistake. Luckily, I had some parchment in the oven to catch the overflow. So, note to self: don't over beat and don't overfill! :)

Isn't this sooooo pretty?

Enjoy this lovely pound cake with lime glaze. You can also use lemon as JustJenn does in her adaptation.

Oh you aren't kidding that's a gorgeously sexy pan! and I didn't know George Clooney was in Facts of Life!

I recently made a pound cake that instructed to use one loaf pan, which then completely dribbled out the sides of the pan and never finished cooking in the middle. Turns out there was a misprint in the cookbook and it was supposed to be TWO pans :-p Thanks goodness I've learned to use a cookie sheet under my pans LOL

I remember GC in Sisters (I really liked that show) and Facts of Life. Remember him on Roseanne? He's from Lexington and it would be a dream to meet him (although I'm sure Michael wouldn't appreciate my lusting after him...).

I loved Sisters, too! I wanted to name my daughter Francesca just to call her Frankie. Guess that's why I was blessed with boys instead. :o) The bundt is beautiful, Mary! I bet George is reading and drooling right now.

It's beautiful!!! I have the mini bundt pan with roses and hoooo boy is it nice (not to tempt you any more, or anything, heh heh heh). WS's recipe for raspberry rose cakes is seriously aaaaamazing (again, not to tempt you, hmm....). ;)

This is so very pretty. Almost too pretty to eat! I think you should market and sell this cake in a stylish gift box with option to personalize a gift card. It's something I would order and ship to friends and family. Can I be your first customer, please? I'm not joking! My brother's birthday is in a week. Would this cake make it to Dallas, TX? Let me know. Thanks, Racheal
